Fair Trade / Rainforest Alliance which is best?

[Mo]

Ts no longer stocks fair trade leaf tea, but does sell Rainforest Alliance. SHould I get Fair Trade from Ss?

Anyone know the difference?

No I don't actually know, but their remits are different. Fair trade is about getting good pay for the workers, and Rainforest Alliance is about not allowing More and MORE forest land to be taken over by plantations. The ideal would be to buy things that were both!
